SEDIMENT YIELD AND TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS

Sediment yield estimation using GIS

A method has been developed in the present study for the determination of the sediment yield from a catchment using a GIS. The method involves spatial disaggregation of the catchment into cells having uniform soil erosion characteristics. The surface erosion from each of the discretized cells is routed to the catchment outlet using the concept of sediment delivery ratio, which is defined as a f...

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

Distributed sediment yield modelling: Importance of initial sediment conditions

The importance of initial sediment conditions on model calibration and validation is analysed. A sediment model was calibrated and validated under three different initial sediment conditions: (0) no sediment availability, (1) calibration of the initial sediment condition and (2) using a warm-up simulation. The model results were assessed in terms of the graphic of fine sediment transport, or se...

Sediment Yield From Small Semiarid Watersheds

Small watershed sediment yield data were evaluated for eight small watersheds ranging from 35.2 to 159.5 ha within the United States Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) in southeastern Arizona, USA. Stock pond sediment accumulation measurements covering time periods from 30 to 47 years were combined with water level records and es...
